Prostor

Welcome to our special and unique house called Siberia. It was opened in 2008 as a cultural centre for Iceland and Sakha-Yakutia, an independent republic in the russian federation, placed in the middle of the wast Siberia, where my mother was born. She married my father and moved to Iceland 50 years ago. The story of the house is that originally my mother got a small summerhouse in a container from the government of Sakha-Yakutia in 2003. She decided that it was too small and tripled the size. The design comes from her home country and the slanted walls and wood construction are typical of houses in her region. My mother is an artist, singer and actress and indeed some of her art is on the walls. When the house was opened it was intended to be available for artist, actors and musicians and many have enjoyed the special atmosphere and beautiful location. This summer we decided to make it available for tourists as well. The house is situated in Kjós, Hvalfyrði. A beautiful fjord about 45 minutes from Reykjavík, surrounded by graceful mountains and the sea. The house it self has a spectacular view of the ocean with mountains all around. It has one double bed and two other beds so it sleeps 4. A kitchen and a big fireplace and all necessities. Nearby is the ocean and one of the oldest harbour in Iceland, Maríuhöfn. Short drive from there is Laxá or Salmon river. It´s one of the most popular rivers to go fly fishing in. Or take a left and find the tallest waterfall in Iceland, Glimur. If you need some groceries, a burger or cup of coffee, take a right, pass Laxá and then take a left to Meðalfell and find Kaffi Kjós. We hope you have a pleasant stay in Iceland and we look forward to having you.
